It was wonderful to see so many students at rehearsals this week learning the choreography to the well-known musical number “Hard Knock Life” It was high energy and a lot of fun was had.

Rehearsals are taking place after school on a Monday and Wednesday and singing rehearsals take place on a Thursday breaktime.

We are sure this is going to be a sell out performance! 

36 hardworking, exceptionally well-behaved year 7s spent Friday morning at the NEC for the Big Bang STEM careers fair and boy were our minds blown! After being split into 3 groups and monitored, the pupils were then let lose to explore the many careers linked to STEM including television, animal care, formula 1 racing, coding, space exploration, car design and manufacture, nuclear power, the railway and HS2 as well as many many others. They took part in activities, discussed people’s careers with some really thought provoking questions and had smiles on their faces the whole time (as well as seeing who came away with the best prizes from the stalls). They were amazing the whole time they were there and our pupils even won a Lego building competition sponsored by JCB!! I received no end of compliments about how conscientious and polite our pupils are. Many proud Miss Mansell moments were had. It opened our eyes to the many choices you get in life when you have an interest in science, technology, engineering and maths as well as how our options are not limited by our personal circumstances, but only by our lack of imagination.
